Leonardo da Vinci was born on April 15th, 1452, at Vinci, a small town near Florence in Italy. The sculptor and painter Verrocchio was his teacher in art. Most of his life Leonardo worked in Italy for rich noblemen, but he spent his last years in France. King Francis I of France appointed Leonardo to the position of ‘First painter, architect and mechanic of the King’ and gave Leonardo a beautiful and comfortable house near the King’s own residence where he often visited Leonardo for conversation. The King paid Leonardo well and allowed him to pursue his own interests in engineering and architecture. Leonardo died in Italy at the age of 67, on 2nd May 1519. Leonardo da Vinci was a genius. He was good at many things, but many people think that Leonardo was one of the greatest painters of all time. Two of his pictures, the ‘Mona Lisa’ and ‘The Last Supper’ are among the best-known paintings in the world. He did lots of drawings. The best-known drawing is the ‘Vitruvian Man’.
Перевести на русский? Неужели это сложно? Особенно если тема subjunctive mood :) Что ж, удачи... Ты бы не имел столько проблем с машиной, если ьы не давал пользоваться еею так часто. Если бы он согласился выступать на конференции, мы бы были очень рады. Это было бы очень удобно для меня, если бы мы могли отложить встречу до следующего четверга. На его месте, я бы подумал дважды перед тем, как дать окончательный (точный) ответ. Дорога такая скользкая (покрыта льдом), я был бы очень осторожен на дороге (на колёсах? wheel - колесо) на твоём месте. Я не буду удивлён, если они не согласились с нами. Я не буду удивлён, если он опять опоздает.
